Shear

Display the single member shear forces acting on each member of your structure. The component shear force in the local Y or local Z axis can be viewed by clicking either option. Shear force diagrams are overlaid onto each member of your structure.

Note: A force in the local X axis is considered an axial force.

The shear force labels can be dragged to improve clarity. You can reset the position of the labels by rotating or dragging the structure.

Clicking an individual member will allow you to view the shear force diagram for that member whilst hiding all others. To reshow the other shear force diagrams, reclick the Shear button on the left navigation menu.
